About Rod Bagaslao

Rod Bagaslao is a Whitehorse lawyer with Bagaslao Law whose work covers immigration, real estate, and wills and estates. Rod can take on matters in two jurisdictions, holding licences in the Yukon and in Ontario, and arrived in Canada after 15 years spent practising law in the Philippines.

Rod has seen immigration from the newcomer's side, too. As a settlement counsellor with the Yukon Tourism and Education Council/Multicultural Centre of the Yukon (YTEC/MCY), Rod helped people who'd just arrived in Whitehorse with a range of immigration needs. After that came an associate position at a Toronto firm, as well as a practice in St. Marys, Ontario that took in family files and estates. Rod then moved back to Whitehorse.

Rod qualified in Canada as a foreign-trained lawyer. The National Committee on Accreditation of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada accredited Rod's Philippine law degree, and after finishing Ontario's licensing process, Rod was called in Ontario in June 2021 and in the Yukon in April 2022. That learning hasn't stopped: Rod is now working toward a Master of Laws in administrative and business law at Osgoode Hall Law School.

Whitehorse is home. By 2024 Rod had lived there for seven years and raised a family in the city. Rod grew up Roman Catholic and went through Catholic schooling, and in 2024 belonged to the Knights of Columbus.
